## Summary

The procurement process involves the Peak District National Park Authority, which is seeking specialist consultancy services related to underground mining activities at the Milldam Mine located in Great Hucklow, within the Peak District National Park. This tender, classified under technical inspection services (CPV code: 71631000), was published on 25 January 2019, and the tender period concluded on 28 February 2019. The contract was awarded on 13 June 2019, with a total contract value of £24,386, running from 14 June to 8 July 2019. The procurement method used was an open procedure categorized as below threshold.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mining consultancy, geotechnical assessments, and surface subsidence evaluation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, particularly those with expertise in providing technical insights and recommendations on mining operations and land stability. Engaging in such projects could enhance business visibility and potentially lead to further contracts within the public sector, especially in areas related to environmental management and mining oversight.

## Notice

The tender is for the provision of specialist consultancy advice and services to be undertaken on behalf of the Peak District National Park Authority ('the Authority'), as Mineral Planning Authority (MPA), in relation to underground mining operations at Milldam Mine, Great Hucklow. The works are required to enable the Authority to assess whether possible enforcement proceedings need to be instigated in relation to the operations of the mine. The work involves reviewing technical information submitted by the mine operator to the Authority in respect of the current operations and mining methodologies employed at the mine. It will require an assessment of the information in the context of the current relevant planning permission and recent surface subsidence events, providing a critique of the adequacy of current mining methods in respect of ensuring surface land stability. Any recommendations for future working and best practice measures required to ensure future land stability and avoidance/minimisation of ground subsidence shall be provided within the context of the scope and conditions of the existing planning permission and the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (GPDO).
